Hey, you know what?
I like you Toby, but I don't apologize in taking pride in my heritage.
And I suggest you do the same.
But for the "Ugly American," this world would be a sad place indeed.
But for the "Ugly American," our french friend, and the other flags on his page, WOULD NOT Exist.
I don't think there is a historian anywhere that really disputes that.
They would all be flying the swastika.
But for the "Ugly American," there would be no internet. Or telehone lines, or electric lines for that matter.
There's a reason the US is country dialing code "01."
All I'm suggesting, is the guy ought to acknowledge the attitudes of the VAST MAJORITY of Americans on his page. If he's expecting to "market" to them.
I realize this has taken a sharp turn into politics, but it IS at the root of the problem I saw with the site. As I said, the guy could just "not" get business, and wonder why?
But your comments annoy me for a whole different reason. Be glad you have the right to piss on your own country. It doesn't come from "nice thoughts."
I won't EVER be ashamed to take pride in my country. No matter how many people want to put it down.
